Roseate Spoonbill in a low rookery branch.
He didn’t mind a paparazzi nearby.
Decent look at the odd shaped beak of a Spoonbill. A perfect adaptation for how they feed.

Sitting Pretty, Roseate Spoonbill
The Palm Tree is a bit worn, but the Spoonbill posing was incredible.
Gathering Of Spoonbills, A Bowl
Flocks of different bird species have been given some really creative names. Like gatherings of Crows is a Murder or groups of Storks are called a Muster.
I think the most creative is a group of Spoonbills, that’s a Bowl of Spoonbills.
Pretty clever.
Spoonbill Overhead
Almost straight up, a shot I usually skip.
But it’s a Roseate Spoonbill against a bright blue sky.
Starting To Play House, Spoonbills
I’m spoiled. Catching in flight Spoonbill photographs is easier in the Lowcountry. While we have plenty of Palm Trees there is open space too. Spoonbill love to fly through Florida palms, and so hard for a clear shot.
This Roseate Spoonbill was thankfully moving between the Palms. Gathering sticks has started.

Spoonbill After Sunset
The only time a Roseate Spoonbill is the least colorful item in a photograph. Best viewed large.
We were lucky to have great clear days and took advantage of them. No sooner did we pack up and head for home… the rains came back. These marshes are not that far from the Lowcountry so the ‘weather app’ is a good (not perfect) guide for us.
